2011-12-31 New Years' Eve: The Conscientious Objectors Grand Slam in an Evening Ride

I just drunk a whole bottle of red (hmm...I think I had one of those every night for the past week) I feel really fat and unfit but definitely ready for some NYE boozage, bring it on!

"'Tis the season to get arseholed, tra la la la la, la la la la..."

If you look good going up swains you're doing it wrong.

Lola looks good going up Swains, darn it!

Poots if you fancy getting some hill practice in I need to be able to do 30 reps of Swains by June...you're welcome to join me in my feeble early attempts.

Hills, schmills.

I'll have a crack at riding up it, but I'm old and knackered.

Is it steeper than Ladbroke Grove?

Its actually inversed at points. Two fifteen percent ramps and then an overhang.

Bring some pitons.

Pitons? Is that some kind of stool halfway up?

Im heading back to london in preparation for this. Dan fancy a few swains reps tomorrow?

Got a bottle of champagne in my bag for midnight and a bottle of whiskey for all night

I'll not be held responsible for anyone who makes an utter arse of themselves.

That'll be me then

Good work.

Weird...just lost a post.

Would have joined you Xander but I've riden >500km fixed into headwinds this week and I'm resting until the 1st.

You not in, Mr Hedge?

Gentle spins around town don't count B&D ;)

that's my plan too. better than schlepping a heavy load of cans around all night. more warming too and less fluid to piss. win all round.

Who says that this isn't going to be a highly competitive alleycat type event?

I'll get a cab.

Oh, you'll be with Multi Grooves then??

No. He has what all superstar DJ's have - a driver.

Correct spelling is "pythons".

For snaking your way up..

You need ladders, not snakes.

RIght oh, synopsis of what's happening with this please?

Ladders apparently.
